LIBRARY  SCHOOL  AT  INDIANAPOLIS  BURNED 


Re-opens  April  23 
Fall  Term  Begins  Oct.  10 
Examinations:  June  20,  Aug.  14  and  Sept.  12 

The  Library  School  of  the  Winona  Technical  Institute  at  Indianapolis  was. 
completely  destroyed  by  a  fire  which  occurred  April  11th  at  three  o’clock  in  the 
morning.  At  eight  o’clock  the  Library  School  students  assembled  in  the  Presi¬ 
dent’s  residence  and,  with  many  expressions  of  loyalty  and  appreciation,  voted  to 
continue  their  course.  Fortunately  the  Easter  vacation,  which  began  April  12th, 
allowed  the  directors  of  the  Winona  Technical  Institute  and  the  Library  School 

time  to-reiuljuiii  losSM.  ^ 

Commodious  quarters  have  been  assigned  in  the  Graphic  Arts  building.  The 
equipment  of  the  Library  School,  including  a  collection  of  some  1500  volumes 
which  was  completely  destroyed,  will  be  replaced. 

Owing  to  the  loss  by  fire  of  the  forty  or  more  applications  for  next  year’s 
course  in  the  Library  School,  if  the  class  is  not  filled  after  the  first  examination 
other  examinations  will  be  held  Aug.  14th  and  Sept.  12th. 

The  school  course  is  much  the  same  as  that  offered  in  other  library  schools  of 
the  country.  It  aims  to  cultivate  in  the  student  discrimination  in  the  selection  of 
books,  and  by  technical  exercises  with  actual  books  selected  for  the  purpose,  gives 
familiarity  with  modern  library  methods  of  preparing  books  for  circulation,  and  of 
making  them  known  to  the  public. 

The  kind  offers  of  books  and  study  outlines  from  librarians  throughout  the 
country  have  been  greatly  appreciated  by  the  Winona  Technical  Institute  and 
Library  School.

information  and  inspiration.  The  aim  of  this  course  is  to  give  instruction  in  introducing  young  people  to 
books  which  must  of  necessity  exert  an  influence  on  the  future  citizens  of  the  commonwealth.

b.  Humor

credit  for  it. 

A  limited  number  of  special  students  may  be  admitted  to  the  course  after  givengsatisfactory  proof  that 
the  knowledge  thus  gained  is  to  be  used  in  advancing  the  library  interests  of  some  community  or  institution. 

Ten  dollars  is  the  tuition  fee,  payable  on  or  before  April  10,  due  from  each  special  student  registered
